Apologies to anyone who's offended by talk of religion by a person who
doesn't practice "any of the above"--so to speak.

Translations:  1)  True or False:  When Father Blanchet arrived at Puget
Sound, he couldn't speak ChInuk, and another fella had to translate for
him.  2)  "Slocum tum-tum" was the first name of which religion?  3)
"saghalie stick" means what?  4)  Who was always jabbering about "black
tamahnous" in reference to Indian doctoring?

Best,
Dave
